Last night’s Planning Commission (PC) agenda was simple: Consider changes to the certified 2022 Land Use Code Update relating to lot size variation and discuss public comments made during a recent County Commissioner meeting. The PC never got to a discussion on lot size variation but rather spent more than four hours hearing from 100-plus residents who attended, in-person and virtually, mostly to complain about government overreach and regulation, and a perceived loss of personal freedoms. Many of those attending told PC members that they are new to the area and had “fled” from places like Boulder and Crested Butte.
